<title>Conditions Task</title>
</head>

<body>

<h2 id="conditions">Conditions</h2>
<p>Conditions are nested elements of the <a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a>
and <a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.  There are core conditions and
custom conditions. Custom conditions are described
in <a href="../Types/custom-programming.html#customconditions">Custom Conditions</a>.  Core
Conditions are described below.</p>
<h3 id="coreconditions">Core Conditions</h3>

<p>These are the nested elements that can be used as conditions in
the <a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a>
and <a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.</p>

<h4 id="not">not</h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;not&gt;</code> element expects exactly one other condition to be nested into this
element, negating the result of the condition.  It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all
nested elements of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>

<h4 id="and">and</h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and accepts an arbitrary number
of conditions as nested elements&mdash;all nested elements of the condition task are supported.
This condition is true if all of its contained conditions are, conditions will be evaluated in the
order they have been specified in the build file.</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> condition has the same shortcut semantics as the
Java <code>&amp;&amp;</code> operator, as soon as one of the nested conditions is false, no other
condition will be evaluated.</p>

<h4 id="or">or</h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and accepts an arbitrary number
of conditions as nested elements&mdash;all nested elements of the condition task are supported.
This condition is true if at least one of its contained conditions is, conditions will be evaluated
in the order they have been specified in the build file.</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> condition has the same shortcut semantics as the Java <code>||</code>
operator, as soon as one of the nested conditions is true, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>

<h4 id="xor">xor</h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;xor&gt;</code> element performs an exclusive or on all nested elements, similar to
the <code>^</code> operator in Java. It only evaluates to true if an odd number of nested conditions
are true. There is no shortcutting of evaluation, unlike the <code>&lt;and&gt;</code>
and <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> tests.  It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all nested elements
of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>

<h4 id="available">available</h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a href="available.html">Available</a> task, all attributes
and nested elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes are redundant and
will be ignored.</p>

<h4 id="uptodate">uptodate</h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a href="uptodate.html">Uptodate</a> task, all attributes and
nested elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes are redundant and will
be ignored.</p>

<p>Test whether the current operating system is of a given type.  Each defined attribute is tested
and the result is true only if <em>all</em> the tests succeed.

<h5>Parameters specified as nested elements</h5>
<h6>classpath</h6>
<p>See the <a href="../Tasks/script.html">script</a> task for using this nested element.</p>
<h5>Description</h5>
<p>The script supports script language inline, this script has access to the same beans as
the <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> task, and to the <code>self</code> bean, which refers back to the
condition itself. If the script evaluates to a boolean result, this is the result of the condition's
evaluation (<em>since Ant 1.7.1</em>).  Alternatively, <code>self.value</code> can be used to set
the evaluation result.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;scriptcondition language=&quot;javascript&quot;
        value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
    self.setValue(false);
&lt;/scriptcondition&gt;</pre>

<p>Sets the default value of the condition to <q>true</q>, then in the script, sets the value
to <q>false</q>. This condition always evaluates to <q>false</q>.</p>

<h4 id="isreachable">isreachable</h4>

<p>Uses Java 5+ networking APIs to probe for a (remote) system being reachable. Exactly what probe
mechanisms are used is an implementation feature of the JVM. They may include ICMP "ping" packets,
UDP or TCP connections to port 7 "echo service" or other means. On Java 1.4 and earlier, being able
to resolve the hostname is considered success. This means that if DNS is not working or a
URL/hostname is bad, the test will fail, but otherwise succeed even if the remote host is actually
absent.</p>
<p>This condition turns unknown host exceptions into false conditions. This is because on a laptop,
DNS is one of the first services when the network goes; you are implicitly offline.</p>
<p>If a URL is supplied instead of a <var>host</var>, the hostname is extracted and used in the
test&mdash;all other parts of the URL are discarded.</p>
<p>The test may not work through firewalls, that is, something may be reachable using a protocol
such as HTTP, while the lower level ICMP packets get dropped on the floor. Similarly, a host may
detected as reachable with ICMP, but not reachable on other ports (i.e. port 80), because of
firewalls.</p>

<p>There is also an optional <code>&lt;regexp&gt;</code> element, which can be used to specify a
regular expression instead of the <var>pattern</var> attribute.
See <a href="../Types/regexp.html">Regexp Type</a> for the description of the nested element regexp
and of the choice of regular expression implementation.</p>
<p>An example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;condition property="legal-password"&gt;
  &lt;matches pattern="[1-9]" string="${user-input}"/&gt;
&lt;/condition&gt;
&lt;fail message="Your password should at least contain one number"
      unless="legal-password"/&gt;</pre>
<p>The following example sets the property <code>ok</code> if the property <code>input</code> is
three characters long, starting with <q>a</q> and ending with <q>b</q>.</p>
<pre>
&lt;condition property="ok"&gt;
  &lt;matches string="${input}" pattern="^a.b$"/&gt;
&lt;/condition&gt;</pre>
<p>The following defines a reference regular expression for matching dates and then uses antunit to
check if the property <code>today</code> is in the correct format:</p>
<pre>
&lt;regexp id="date.pattern" pattern="^[0123]\d-[01]\d-[12]\d\d\d$"/&gt;

&lt;au:assertTrue xmlns:au="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit"&gt;
  &lt;matches string="${today}"&gt;
    &lt;regexp refid="date.pattern"/&gt;
  &lt;/matches&gt;
&lt;/au:assertTrue&gt;</pre>
<p>The following example shows the use of the <var>singleline</var> and the <var>casesensitive</var>
flags.</p>
<pre>
&lt;au:assertTrue&gt;
  &lt;matches string="AB${line.separator}C" pattern="^ab.*C$"
           casesensitive="false"
           singleline="true"/&gt;
&lt;/au:assertTrue&gt;
&lt;au:assertFalse&gt;
  &lt;matches string="AB${line.separator}C" pattern="^ab.*C$"
           casesensitive="false"
           singleline="false"/&gt;
&lt;/au:assertFalse&gt;</pre>
